Acute and General Medicine Experts for Legal Professionals

Acute and general medicine experts are specialist physicians responsible for the assessment, investigation, diagnosis, and management of patients presenting with acute medical conditions. These may include the initial onset of a medical issue (e.g., chest pain requiring diagnostic evaluation) or the exacerbation of pre-existing conditions (e.g., a flare-up of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). These specialists often begin their assessments in emergency departments, extend their care to acute clinical assessment units, and continue patient management on general medical wards.
